If they do not leave voluntarily, they will be exterminated in the upcoming race war.

That was the first time I ever heard the term race war.

Now, I was already fascinated by racism since I was 10 years old, right?

But race war, what is this man talking about, right?

And so...

I began buying books and all kinds of stuff, learning different terminology for it, which will come later.

Like, for example, the white supremacists, they have two terms for the race war.

One is RAHOA, R-A-H-O-W-A, RAHOA, which are the first two letters of three words, racial holy war.

Also, they call it the boogaloo.

So if you hear that term, they're not talking about the 1960s, you know, dance music.

They're talking about the race war.

And so Matt Cole talked about the race war.

Well, I graduated two years later, 1976, from high school.

I graduated from college in 1980, four years after that.

And like I said, racism became my obsession.

I did not confront Matt Cole in school because, you know, my peer group back then, you know, we were raised

you have respect for your elders as figures of authority.

Whether you accept them or not, you still respect them.

And so, you know, I didn't confront him like that.

But now I've graduated from college, right?
